Sixth grade social studies curriculum utilizes the MC3 framework. Similar to MAISA literacy units in format, these units of study have been carefully written, piloted, and revised over the last few years with the help of teachers throughout our state and our district. Though I've taught social studies, this will be my first time with this framework. I am excited to learn along with your child as we explore topics in the following units:

1. Foundations of World Geography
2. The World in Spatial Terms
3. Population and Migration
4. Culture
5. Human/Environment Interaction
6. Economics and World Trade
7. Civics, Government, and Global Politics
